Emperor Mingde was still young and in his prime.

Shi Anxia and Cen Yuan once swore to him that everything they did was for Beiyi and to save his life.

How long has it been?

If she suggested that Emperor Mingde abdicate and let the crown prince ascend the throne, it would be hard not to cause the emperor to speculate. Especially since Emperor Mingde had previously suspected that she and Cen Yuan were trying to support Prince Ling to ascend the throne.

Besides, it was she who recommended Mr. Yang Xuan to the Imperial Observatory to serve as the Chief of Five-organs Guardian.

What a coincidence, other officials of the Imperial Observatory didn’t notice that the Emperor Planet was about to end, but you, who just arrived, discovered it?

Shi Anxia never thought that she could become arrogant due to her favor, let alone that she could really control the emperor's heart.

One mistake and everything will be lost. She walked on thin ice in her previous life, and she still dared not take it lightly in this life.

Every step she took was carefully considered.

Now, Shi Anxia has many large families behind her, and many officials are active in the court because of her.

If Emperor Mingde had any crooked thoughts, the entire northern wing would be caught in a vortex of darkness.

Moreover, this life is more dangerous than the previous one, because the second prince of Wan State, Booth, was killed by them in the north wing.

Wan State could go to war at any time. Once Emperor Mingde changed his mind and no longer trusted her and Cen Yuan, Beiyi would be in a situation of internal and external troubles.

Shi Anxia didn't dare to gamble. It wasn't that he didn't trust Emperor Mingde, but that he didn't trust the emperor's heart.

So she added another piece to the game.

This chess piece is her mother, Tang Chujun.

Emperor Mingde was fond of his mother, Tang Chujun, who had disapproved of him before.

She knew very well that Emperor Mingde was an emperor who put the people first and would never abdicate because of his children's personal affairs.

If he does not abdicate, his mother will inevitably enter the harem and rule the country.

Shi Anxia was reluctant to let her mother work so hard, and even more reluctant to let her face the criticism from court officials.

The mistress of a powerful and aristocratic family has to bear many responsibilities, let alone the queen of a country?

If her mother was the only one in the harem, the court officials would not think that Emperor Mingde did not want to choose a concubine, but would conclude that it was her mother who seduced the emperor and monopolized the harem.

At that time, Anxia was not happy to see her mother and Emperor Mingde make any progress. Of course, she couldn't do anything to break up the couple, so she could only watch and let it develop.

But since she learned that "the Emperor's Star is about to end", she hoped that her mother could capture the heart of Emperor Mingde and pull him down from that position on the grounds of love.

To this end, Shi Anxia and Cen Yuan discussed traveling with a large team.

The trip to Mingjia and Vina tribe was planned earlier, but I never thought about taking so many people to travel and stop along the way.

The focus of this outing was not the Ming family, not Hong Que, but Tang Chujun.

Shi Anxia couldn't let her mother stay in the capital, so that Emperor Mingde could come and see her whenever he wanted.

She wanted to make Emperor Mingde miss her too much and think carefully about the relationship between him and his mother: If he wants to marry my mother, he must step down from the throne as soon as possible.

In addition, Tang Chujun's talent also shines under Cen Yuan's deliberate packaging.

This is due to Tang Chujun's own efforts, the blessing of Emperor Mingde's power, and Cen Yuan's behind-the-scenes promotion, which have made him the unique and unconventional "Mr. Chu Sheng" he is today.

With the aura of beauty and talent, and the affection of the "little fat boy" in childhood, Emperor Mingde would definitely become anxious because he couldn't see his beloved for a long time.

When Tang Chujun wrote "Three years is the time it takes for a flower to bloom", Shi Anxia guessed Emperor Mingde's intention to abdicate.

She was waiting, waiting for Emperor Mingde to arrange everything. Before the Emperor's Star completely dimmed, Emperor Mingde would step down from that position and let the new emperor lead the North Wing into a more prosperous era.

The regent was the best choice for Emperor Mingde. This position had been vacant for a long time, and finally it had someone to take care of it.

Shi Anxia felt guilty, so she went forward and hugged her mother, saying affectionately, "My brother and I sincerely hope that mother can live a smooth life for the rest of her life."

Tang Chujun's heart was filled with happiness, and she wondered how she could be so lucky. Her children were so outstanding that they made people jealous. Even though she was divorced, she could still be favored by such a good man.

Oh, she wanted to burn incense and worship the wise ruler in "The mountains and rivers of Beiyi have a wise ruler". Hehe, this wise ruler has some relationship with her, which makes her feel embarrassed.

On the other hand, Emperor Mingde revealed the real reason for his abdication, which shocked Cen Yuan. "Remember the last time we met Master Jiyuan at Baoguo Temple? He told me that my emperor star will end in two years at the earliest and three years at the slowest."

Cen Yuan: “!!!”

I just don't want to talk anymore. I have kept it a secret for so long, and I dare not let you know about this huge secret, for fear that you would think too much. So you already knew everything?

Emperor Mingde saw Cen Yuan was stunned, and thought that he would not be able to digest the news for a while. "Don't disbelieve me. Master Jiyuan's words do make sense. And you also know that three years from now is the time when I died in my previous life, right?"

He sighed softly, "After all, I have less fate with Beiyi. But Master Jiyuan also said that although my emperor star is dim, there is a star next to it that has risen suddenly. Isn't that the prince?"

Cen Yuan frowned, "Have you ever thought that maybe my little girl and I bribed Master Jiyuan and deliberately said this to you to make you abdicate?"

Emperor Mingde sneered, "What good things are you thinking? Can Master Jiyuan be such a vulgar person?"

"Is Master Jiyuan a human? As long as he is a human, he will have selfish desires, right? What if he is..."

Emperor Mingde interrupted him, speaking in a rare serious tone, "I was wrong at first. I suspected you and Xia'er, which made you harbor resentment. But didn't I stop right away? Don't forget, I was also a dreamer. Although the people and things in my dreams are becoming more and more vague, I am still not confused. I know who is truly doing good for Beiyi."

He said word by word: "I believe in you, and I also believe in Xia'er."

Believing in you can save the world.

Cen Yuan laughed in silence, "We underestimated you." He stood up, bowed deeply, and said sincerely, "Father, your heart is as clear as a mirror. It is a blessing for Beiyi, and also for Xia'er and me."

Emperor Mingde heard this and looked at his expression. Suddenly, he had an idea. "You knew it earlier... Could it be Yang Xuan?"

He suddenly understood that Shi Anxia had recommended Mr. Yang Xuan to the Imperial Observatory after the Qingchen Project. But not long after, this person asked to resign every other day.

If he hadn't known that this man was the supervisor during the reign of Queen Dowager Huizheng and was very capable, he would have kicked him out long ago.

It turns out that Mr. Yang Xuan also deduced it.

Emperor Mingde smiled bitterly, "You and Xia'er...are you worried that if you ask me to abdicate, you will be suspected, so you chose to conceal it?"

Cen Yuan said solemnly, "It is a small matter for us to be suspected, and it is still a small matter if it affects the people related to us. But it will cause turmoil in the North Wing and give Wan Kingdom an opportunity to take advantage of it, which is a big matter. Father, we dare not gamble with the emperor!"
